MILITARY personnel and veterans will be able to travel for free on Newport Transport’s buses on Sunday.
With a number of events to be held throughout the region marking Remembrance Day, both former and current members of the armed forces will be exempt from paying fares on November 10.
Newport Transport managing director Scott Pearson said: “We are delighted to once again offer free travel to all armed forces personnel, veterans and cadets all day on Remembrance Sunday as a way of thanks for all they have done or currently do for this country.
